My card for this week's Moxie Fab World Nice and Neutral Challenge started out serious ... and then somewhere along the way took a turn at silly ... I'm blaming it on the lack of sleep and cold medication due to a summer cold that has invaded my head.
This lovely bed photo was our inspiration. The woodgrain and pennants reminded me of the Country Life stamps from Artistic Outpost.
I started with a woodgrain embossed background to replicate the feeling of the headboard. Next I stamped my pennant twice so it would drape across the card & added a rub-on sentiment.
I stamped my farm boy on a piece of vintage book page and then used colored pencil to bring in the subtle shades of blue from the photos. I added a sentiment from AO's Think & Wonder to the bottom.
Then I saw my EAD Mustache rub-ons ... and just couldn't resist. My husband's response when I showed him the card was "did you mean to do that?" ... regardless of my intentions, it did make us laugh outloud for over a minute, so it was worth it.
Hope you find some unexpected laughter in your life too.
very cool...and silly...
